Losing your passport doesn't have to snowball into a disaster! Be prepared for the unexpected by remembering these simple steps: 🔹 Report the loss or theft to the local police to prevent any potential misuse of your passport. 🔹 Reach out to your country's embassy or consulate for an emergency travel document or a replacement passport. 🔹 If your country doesn't have an embassy or consulate outside the EU, you can get help from another EU country. When travelling, always keep copies of your passport and other important documents in a separate place from the originals. This can help speed up the replacement process. Rest assured, the EU stands by its people and the right to #ConsularProtection remains a cornerstone of the European citizenship: https://europa.eu/!TjxR8n
